Barnes & Noble Nook

By Dena Cassella Published October 20, 2009

Just when Amazon thought they were about to have the e-book market cornered, Barnes & Noble crashes the party with their own device, Nook. Nook one ups the Kindle by adding two screens: One e-ink screen and another color touch-sensitive screen dedicated to navigation. The device also features free use of AT&T’s 3G network for downloading and purchasing books, Wi-Fi, and a book lending feature that allows you to lend titles to other nook users which they can keep for up to 14 days.

Some other Nook features include a paper-like display, a powerful battery life that can last up to ten days, and it can be used as an MP3 player, housing 26 hours of audio. The Nook is available for pre-order at barnesandnoble.com and is priced at $259.

The AI game-dev boom has a dark side: fewer jobs for the people starting out

Solo creators are thriving with tools like Claude Code and Copilot, but entry-level game roles are disappearing.

AI is making it easier than ever for a single person to build a game. That sounds like a win for creativity, and in many ways, it absolutely is. But there is a catch. As generative AI tools help solo developers and small studios do more with fewer people, the same shift is making life tougher for writers, artists, concept creators, and junior programmers trying to break into the gaming industry.

A new AI model wants self-driving cars to think before they swerve

Forget guessing games, this self-driving AI actually shows its work.

Self-driving cars have gotten pretty good at driving. The harder problem is teaching them to drive safely in situations nobody planned for. We have heard horror stories of self-driving cars, behaving erratically in emergency situations, often times delaying first responders from reaching the scene.

A team at Seoul National University, led by professor Jun Won Choi from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, thinks they have cracked part of that puzzle with a new AI model called SafeDrive. The research was recently selected as a highlight paper at CVPR 2026, a distinction that goes only to roughly 3% of all submissions.

An AirPods-sized mini lab could help catch disease markers in minutes

Meet VPodDuo, an AirPods-sized molecular testing gadget

Home testing could eventually become a lot more convenient. Researchs at the at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has developed the VPodDuo, a pocket-sized fluorescence reader designed to measure sensitive molecular tests outside a conventional laboratory.

Its housing is roughly comparable in size and shape to an AirPods charging case, while Bluetooth connectivity sends results directly to a smartphone. Meaning, you might not have to wait in line anymore.
